water in the lower chamber is made to boil. The steam rising from it passes up between the tubes C and E, in the direction of the red arrows, and ovcreinto the upper part of the not, and then condcnses 'and adds to tho heat, and mingles with the liquid in it. v 4 The steam rising through the tube E, `or the nir, so long as the water 'is above the lower end Ioi? thctube E, will make a low, simmering sound, but when the water falls blow theend ofthe tube, thc steam will operate vthe whistle F, so as to be distinctly heard, and thus give 'a prompt alarm offthe condition of the water in the i described.

lower chamber. This sound will continue for some time, so as to give ample time to remove the pot from the fire cr stove, or to fill it' up before beng injured. l i

The sound given out by the whistle will thus indicate the height ot' the water: in the lower chamber, and give nstant alarm wbenit becomes so low that there is danger'of the pot being injured by the re.

The advantages o i this construction of pot are its simplicity, ease in cleaning the lower chamber, by. the use of the convex false bottom, retaining and condensing all the steam, and preserving all the aroma of tho tea or ooiiee within the pot. It never boils over, and hencethere is no smell, and no soiling of the stove. It is self-regulating, notifying the cook when more water is needed in the lower chamber to prevent burning.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, is I e l 1. A tea or coffee-pot, consisting of an upper chamber for the tea cr co'ee, and a lu'er chamber, B, for'hot water, with an outer Vcentral tube, C, attached, and cover D, with tube E, whistle F, and hood L all constructed and arranged substantially as described. f

2. In combination with the bot-water chamber B and central tube C, I claim the cover D` with hood I and Atube E, when constructed and arranged substantially as herein described.

3. I claim the cover D, with the tube Erand conical deilecting-tube or hood I, attached substantinllyns `A. c. IcAssoN.
